    D4 doesn't seem to be a massive update, seems to be focused more on video, defiantly trying to compete with the 5D Mark II. The other major updates are higher-resolution, 16.2MP, full-frame CMOS sensor and the ability to shoot at 10 frames per second with autofocus. It has a massive amount of smaller tweaks, though.

    Or to put it another way


    SOON THE FALSE CANON GOD WILL BE CAST DOWN FROM THE GLORIOUS VIDEO THRONE, RISE MY NIKON BROTHERS, THE D4 SHALL LEAD US TO ASCENSION!

    That feeling when there's been a blizzard since new years and you haven't been able to take a single picture outside.

    I'm finally retiring my kit 50mm f/1.8 for good, figuring I'll get a 50mm f/1.4 to replace it and get myself to use 35mm film again. I'm planning on going with a Takumar, but I don't know if I should go with the SMC version or the early 8 element Super Takumar (not SMC). Anyone know anything about the lens/opinions?

    ISO6400, probably shot in jpeg because of apparent noise reduction

    Nikon claimed 1 stop better noise performance than the D3s, so ISO 12800 on the D4 is like ISO 6400 on the D3s.

    The difference between the D3 and D3s was 1.5 stops.

    Edited:

    2.5 stop upgrade from the D3 is pretty good.

    From this the 1DX seems better, but it's mostly over pretty insignificant stuff, also wasn't the 14 FPS only without autofocus because it locks the mirror up? (Would also mean no viewfinder). I think it was 12 for normal.

    Also I'm not sure what the buffer on the 1DX is.

    I'm gonna wait for reviews, in particular noise performance samples, before I call this.

    It's actually really depressing what the average ~flagship owner~ does with their camera.



    I mean, do you really need a D3S to take this kind of picture?

    I think it's more that the type of person to unnecessarily buy a 'pro' camera, is also the type of person that goes around spamming favorites and flickr 'award' comments, which facilitates return attention.

    well, you outta scream out loud "SA OOT PERSE PELLE YA STUPID WITCH"!

    My macduck is burning my lap, help! Struggling to find a solid yet affordable wide angle prime. Here's something for you zoom lens owning kiddos to do. Go through your photos and find the range you shoot at most. For me its 28-35ish. Helps you get an idea of what primes you would use.

    Haha it's up to 1.2 million now.

    We were actually discussing i_still_believe_in_u a few months ago, in which time it's doubled from 600k favorites.

    Edited:

    The only thing more depressing are the testimonials written by people (who generally have hilarious photostreams) that have fallen for it.

    It's some guy/woman that indiscriminately favorites any and all pictures they come across on flickr to superficially flatter people into returning the 'favor' by looking at and praising his/her pictures. It's a hollow, spammy, numbers game popularity contest that is extremely common among mediocre photographers. They do it to validate their (non-existant) skill with numerical 'stats' to show off to their peers.

    That's why I've started avoiding Flickr like the plague.

    I started getting spammed with favs and hollow comments.
